Jim Sagel continues the themes cultivated in his other works. The title story recounts the comical but poignant sinsabores of Sabelotodo Entiendelonada, a man so nicknamed because of the contrast between his extensive formal legal education and his total ineptitude at simple ranching activities. Among the other unusual characters in the collection are Petenrita (Pete and Rita), a couple that has been quarreling constantly for 54 years.
